Appendix D: Demo Program
NOTE
The demo project is intended for testing purposes only. Do not use
it in any production environment.
The gripper is provided with a simple demo project for Siemens
SIMATIC S7-1200 controls. The program can be downloaded from
the CD.
The program has been implemented and tested on a CPU of type
1212C with the Profibus module CM1243- 5 using the Siemens
STEP7 Basic v11.0 SP2 (TIA Portal) project environment. It will ex-
ecute an endless loop of a simple gripping cycle, consisting of pre-
positioning the gripper jaws, grasping a part, releasing and return-
ing to the start position.
If a part is detected, the gripper will hold it for a short moment. In
case of an error, the gripper will execute a homing sequence and
restart from the beginning. Please note that the gripper must be
referenced before running the program.
The PLC is configured in the project to use IP address
192.168.1.250 and Profibus address 2. The gripper is expected to
use Profibus address 7 (default). These settings may be changed
according to your requirements.
NOTE
It might be useful to open the Fieldbus Monitor on the gripper’s
web interface when running the program to get more information
on possible problems.
